[Asian Games] Even Though I am in 6th Grade, I Represent the National Team... Kang-ho Moon, “I Didn’t Have a Signature so I Wrote my Name Down”




Kang-ho Moon, the national skateboarding team member, and Hyun-joo Cho, a high school student who is the second youngest 'veteran' in the Korean team, said, "I relieved my stress by eating tteokbokki."

The skateboarding team participating in the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games is comprised of all teenagers.

Due to the nature of sports where flexibility is important, the average age of athletes is younger than that of other sports. 온라인카지노

Some of the national team players are attending elementary school.

Moon Kang-ho (Gangwon Province Roller Sports Federation), born in April 2011, is the second youngest among the 1,140 Korean athletes at the Asian Games.

Kang-ho Moon has the same year of birth as Sa-rang Kim, who competes in chess, but his birthday is about 7 months earlier, so he unfortunately missed the record as the youngest participant in the Korean team.

Although he is young, his determination to participate in the Asian Games is no different from any other national team player.

Moon Kang-ho met with reporters at Incheon International Airport on the 20th and said, "I am excited and nervous.

My parents told me to do my best, and I will definitely come back with good grades."

He laughed and said, “My friends said it was amazing and said they would watch the game on TV.

One friend asked me for an autograph, but there was no autograph, so I wrote my name.”

Moon Kang-ho, who first encountered skateboarding in the second grade of elementary school, confidently said, “I am most confident in the kickflip technique, which involves rotating the board 360 degrees and holding it with your hands.”

Cho Hyun-joo (16, Hongdae High School), a veteran(?) member of the skateboarding team, also showed extraordinary determination.

He said, “This is my first time participating in a comprehensive international competition,” and added, “I will show you amazing skills as I have prepared hard.”

He added, "I trained abroad to prepare for this competition.

My parents were very worried, but they supported me.

They told me to enjoy the competition rather than my grades."

He continued, "Due to the nature of the sport, there are a lot of minor injuries, and I also recently sprained my ankle and am recovering.

I also get a lot of stress, but I always relieve it by chatting with my school friends or eating tteokbokki.

All members of the skateboarding team are in the 10th grade."

“Everyone prepared for this competition while laughing and chatting as it was organized as planned,” he said.

He said, “My school friends said they were watching the broadcast and cheering me on,” and expressed his determination, saying, “I will definitely come back with a medal.”

Skateboarding, which was first adopted as an official event at the 2018 Jakarta-Palembang Asian Games, is divided into 'Street' and 'Park' sub-events.

'Street' is a sport that showcases skills among various structures found on real streets, such as stairs, handrails, rails, slopes, benches, and walls, while 'Park' is held in a hollow bowl-shaped stadium.

Each athlete is given two 45-second performance attempts.

In the finals, in addition to these, five additional single technologies must be showcased.

Athletes are evaluated based on technical difficulty, success rate, and originality.

Moon Kang-ho and Cho Hyun-joo are on the hunt for medals in the park event.
